A song about counting cells with a hemocytometer

Does counting cells ever make you want to…break into song?

Now that there is a cell counter with a reusable slide, “too expensive” is no longer a valid excuse for not purchasing an automated counter. Why continue to count cells manually with a hemocytometer when an automated cell counter is more accurate AND saves time?

SONG LYRICS
Click click click, I lost my count
I can’t win this clock show down
This is a waste, a waste of time

There’s no reason to do this
If there’s a better way we’ll use it
We need a Countess II right now!

Not gonna count
Not gonna count it
Not gonna count
No we’re not gonna count it anymore

Can’t buy an automated counter
Must use a hemocytometer
Slides cost too much, it just won’t do

No way, that’s not true!
There’s a Countess II with a slide to reuse
Now we can afford it, no excuse

Not gonna count
Not gonna count it
Not gonna count
No we’re not gonna count it anymore

We’re right,
We’re free,
We’ll fight,
You’ll see,

Not gonna count
Not gonna count it
Not gonna count
No we’re not gonna count it anymore

Come for the lab equipment

Stay for the strange breadth of videos this channel has

Never thought I'd see the day ThermoFisher post a song vid about cell counting, now my life is complete lol

[murasakirin]

this was hilarious to me because i'm studying cellular biology and counting cells is literally the most tedious thing ever.

[fss]

that's the weird nerdy neat stuff i paid internet.to watch lol

Too bad the lyrics aren't subtitled.
